About This Quiz

Fast food restaurants have been a staple in American households since the 1950s. With ingenious marketing techniques and promises of quick service, most parents find fast food to be a simple meal solution while most children find the treat to be exciting and fun. For this reason, it's nearly impossible to see fast food restaurants fading from public favor anytime soon. Even with everything we've learned about the health hazards and warning standards of these major companies, fast food restaurants are seeing record sales and pushing for more space in suburban and urban lots. Think about it; depending on where you live, you may find that there is a McDonald's restaurant nearly every mile, and if you don't have one in your town, there is always one the next town over.

While there are dozens of different fast food restaurants, some of them are regional and can't be found in some regions of the United States. While others are national (and international) and can be found in nearly every city and town you step foot in. Whether or not you have visited every fast food chain available, you can probably recognize their logos from a mile away. Now, it's time to see if you know which fast food restaurant you're passing if you see the sign on the highway. Take this quiz to test your fast food knowledge.

Can you identify the restaurant that uses these golden arches in their logo?

McDonald's

Subway

Arby's

Jack in the Box

No matter how many times McDonald's comes under fire for their low standards, treatment of employees and food quality, they seem to be thriving around the world. At one point, more people could identify Ronald McDonald than Santa Claus.

This clear sign will tell you where you're eating. What restaurant uses this logo?

Dairy Queen

McDonald's

Subway

Arby's

At one point, Subway was sued because their footlong sandwiches were only 11 inches long. This kind of false advertising didn't stop people from taking advantage of their $5 deals, though.

The name of this restaurant is between two buns on its logo. Which fast food restaurant is it?

McDonald's

Burger King

Fat Burger

Five Guys

While the Burger King logo is easily recognizable, the mascot for this restaurant is even more recognizable ... mostly because it is the most terrifying mascot in the history of fast food representatives.

Can you name the fast food restaurant with this logo?

Burger King

Carl's Jr.

Arby's

Taco Bell does not claim to be authentic Mexican food. Instead, it has a "Mexican inspired" menu that boasts items covered in nacho cheese sauce. Most of their food items might not be healthy, but they are undoubtedly delicious.

This fast food place tries to get your pizza to you in under 30 minutes. What restaurant is it?

Domino's Pizza

Pizza Hut

Subway

Papa John's

Domino's Pizza is all about fast, cheap pizza. While many people forget that this restaurant exists, the fast pizza place thrives in college towns. Who could beat the price of a $5 pizza in no time flat?

Which restaurant serves delicious chicken fast, hot and fresh?

Kentucky Fried Chicken

Chick-Fil-A

Popeyes

Pizza Hut

While Chick-Fil-A has had its fair share of bad press (due to some issues with intolerance), it is still a thriving restaurant. If you like a little bit of sweetness and pickle juice on your chicken, you'd probably love this place.

When you're looking for a healthier option for fast food, you might go to this restaurant. Do you recognize the logo?

Panera Bread

Subway

Kentucky Fried Chicken

Panera Bread is one of the greatest places on Earth if you don't mind spending a little extra money on your fast food. They make your food fast, everything is delicious, and depending on where you live, they deliver now.

Can you name the Mexican fast food restaurant with this logo?

Chipotle

Taco Bell

El Pollo Loco

Mr. Beef

Chipotle is what you get when you mix Taco Bell and Subway. You get to create your own burrito or Mexican dish by walking through and adding ingredients. Sure, it costs two extra dollars for guac, but you basically get three avocados worth of guac, so it's all good.

Kentucky Fried Chicken

McDonald's

Subway

In-N-Out Burger

Who would have thought to turn two deep-fried chicken breasts into a bun and make a sandwich out of it? Kentucky Fried Chicken, that's who. You probably recognize the Colonel without a problem, but he may not have been happy with a bowl of gravy and cheese as a menu item.

Wiki Commons by Calibrador

Do you know which drive-in restaurant has this logo?

Arby's

Sonic

El Pollo Loco

Dairy Queen

Sonic has one of the most extensive fast food menus. It includes burgers, chicken, hot dogs and tons of different drink options. Of course, the two guys in the commercials are kind of dorky, but they sell the Sonic menu like nobody's business.

Which fast food restaurant has a $5 pizza that you can pick up at any time?

Little Caesars

Arby's

Pizza Hut

Papa Johns

Little Caesars has an interesting business model. In general, their restaurants don't have dining areas, but they also don't deliver. They are simply a walk-up, buy and leave pizza place. They offer the $5 hot and ready pizza as a means of getting your food fast.

Which sandwich place delivers fast and fresh?

Jimmy John's

Hardee's

Carl's Jr.

If you were ever wondering how Jimmy John's gets you sandwiches so fast that you'll freak, the trick is lowering their delivery perimeters ... that and they start making your sandwich as you're ordering it.

Wiki Commons by Jbarta

This burger place is fast and efficient. Do you recognize the logo?

Zaxby's

Five Guys

Arby's

McDonald's

Five Guys has pretty standard burgers, but their fry seasoning is out of this world (pst ... it's just seasoned salt). Their fresh cut fries could take home endless blue ribbons, however.

KFC

El Pollo Loco

This fast food restaurant has a seemingly tiny menu. Can you recognize the logo?

Fat Burger

Wendy's

In-N-Out Burger

Jack in the Box

In-N-Out Burger boasts the best employee retention rate of any fast food franchise. This is probably because they pay their employees well, give them benefits and train them properly. They are an incredibly successful franchise and make quite a bit of money.

Wiki Commons by Miyagawa

Which burger place has plain, small burgers and this logo?

Burger King

White Castle

McDonald's

Del Taco

Not only are White Castle's sliders small, but they also have holes in them. This is so they cook faster with the power of steam. They might be plain, but they sure are delicious and salty and oniony and MMMMM.

Papa John's

Can you name the fast food restaurant that serves up Louisiana style chicken and has this logo?

Brown's Chicken and Pasta

Popeyes

Dairy Queen

Dairy Ripple

Arby's

Sweetnuss

If we have a Burger King, we have to have a Dairy Queen. While we think of blizzards and candy in soft serve ice cream when we think of Dairy Queen, they also have meal deals for the kiddos to enjoy.

What is the name of this fast food restaurant that focuses on pasta?

Jack in the Box

Noodles & Co.

Mac Shack

Flacker's

Noodles & Co. has seemed to make it well past the gluten-free phase that America has been a part of for the last five years. It isn't necessarily against gluten, but the owners of the restaurant simply know that carbs are delicious.

Pizza Hut

Domino's

Carl's Jr.

Hardee's

Which fast food chain specializes in seafood and has this logo?

Pink Taco

Long John Silver's

Milligans

Captain Jack's

When you think of fast food, you probably rarely think of getting seafood. However, if that seafood is fried from frozen, you probably would be less likely to throw up when you see it and smell it. Thanks, Long John Silver's.

Can you name the donut shop that has this logo?

Dunkin' Donuts

Auntie Anne's

Hardee's

Krispy Kreme

Krispie Kreme donuts have been around for a long time. You can hear their name in rap songs, but the best part about these donuts is their freshly made warmth and deliciousness. Oh, and if you go there, you can watch them make the donuts.

At which restaurant can a kid be a kid?

Arby's

Chuck E. Cheese's

Auntie Anne's

Papa John's

Easily the grossest fast food award goes to Chuck E. Cheese's. Not only can you get better quality out of a Red Baron frozen pizza, but a lot of the time, the pizza you receive there isn't even cooked all the way.

Wiki Commons by Sheafferlb

Which restaurant is known for its root beer floats?

Burger King

Dairy Queen

A&W

Long John Silver's

That's right; it's a brand of root beer and a burger place. The best part of an A&W burger is the mustard. They use French's mustard, and it just goes so well with their meat patties ... and a root beer float, of course.
